Hi. I'm Melanie, or Chana if you prefer. I answer to both, but it generally seems people from my work life call me Melanie and those from my personal life call me Chana. Anyway, I am a traditional Torah-observant Jew, lover of animals, author, photographer, registered nurse, Mom to a wonderful little girl (who, despite my best efforts to keep her as she is, insists on growing into a lovely young lady), devoted wife to an amazing husband, and adoptive mom to a rambunctious and silly, yet delightful, dog.

​

I am currently working on a few projects, including a memoir, a series of children's books, and a stand-alone children's book. You can read my blog here!
